Top to a sum

Hello!
I try to make the sum of a field, but then need to get the percentage occupied by each of the first 4, and% occupying all others, ie get something like this:

**Service**    **SumMB**        **percent**
  HHTP            90               25.71
  HTTPS           85               22.45
  DNS             81               21.09
  SMTP            70               16.90
  Otros           23               13.85

I tried something like this, but that would be missing something but, as you could?

SEARCH | stats sum(MB) AS SumMB by service | top SumMB otherstr="Others"

Thank you for your attention.

"Others" is displayed if I assume it "useother=true". However, I think that this isn't the result that you expect.

SEARCH | stats sum(MB) AS SumMB by service | top SumMB useother=true otherstr="Others"

I think that it is necessary to calculate percent by oneself.

For example
SEARCH | stats sum(MB) AS SumMB by service |sort - SumMB|eval id=1|accum id|eval Service=if(id<=4,service,"OTHER")|stats sum(SumMB) as SumMB by Service|addcoltotals labelfield=Service label=ALL|sort - SumMB|eval Total=IF(Service="ALL",SumMB,0)|accum Total|WHERE Service!="ALL"|eval percent=SumMB/Total*100|fields - Total

comment

|sort - SumMB|eval id=1|accum id|eval Service=if(id<=4,service,"OTHER")|->extract TOP4 and "OTHER"
|addcoltotals labelfield=Service label=ALL|sort - SumMB|eval Total=IF(Service="ALL",SumMB,0)|accum Total|WHERE Service!="ALL"|->Calculation of the total

When there is little number, you may demand total by a subsearch.

Sorry for the confusion, but the result I'm trying to get is the one show as a table. I hope you understand.

In your question you ask for the sum of the first 4 with a percent, and then a percent of the others, but in your example you show the sum and percent for all 5. Your goal is not clear.
The question: "I tried something like this, but that would be missing something but, as you could?" does not compute. Can you review this question, please.
